jj The defendant la Indicted for tnlsdemfanor, pnn-
J Ishable br line or Irnprlionroenl In tho Penitentiary
i lUBiuadof prison. It la a minor ofTtnse. 'Irojsonli
I ieoucilns the attempt of persona 10 overthrow gov.

1 but a step further might huve been treason. Ko
J in -n can bt held to answer nnlcaa Indicted by a
.? trrand Jury. He la surrounded with aafegoardi.
t ana a Jury selected or accepted by his counsel mint
try him and muBt be convinced beyond a reaaon-
j hblo doubt of his guilt before he can be
' Punished. Tho clause of the statute under which
i tils charge la made, says that an assembly In

tne abuae of that liberty, 'ihua tho person whoso
i abuses freedom of Bpeech that he lncltts others to
deeds of violence or treasonable acta, la re
epuuslble for the results.
, On Nov. 18, at a meeting In a hall In the rear of a
) laloonln Seventh street, there wero more than one
i hundred believers In anarchy, wnlch contemplates
a condition of society without government, law or
t jontracts, social or commercial, and glveatoeacti
individual entire controlof hla own actions. Anar-
I cMaia believe la the overthrow of the present ao-
cul structure and Government.
i Mr. Howe objected to this line of argu-
meut, but was overruled, and Mr. Nicoll
" said :
. ; You win see, gentlemta of tho Jury.tbat In order
to ascertain whether the speooh of Heir Most
I : tended to create a breach of the peace or was dan-
rcroua to the Government It must bo known what
I , ot gathering ho talked la He might

I i I??,0.1' of Commrrce or the Faculty
) i Ouiuuuu CoUcge without tut leut danger ox
exciting them to acts of violence or agalnit the
welfare of this country. But If the gathering was
ot men hot for a disturbance, then If the Bpeech as
Broven was incendiary, it might tend to create a
reach of the peace.
Tne people were In Kraemer's Hall. Most en
tered at 8 o'clock and was greeted by an audience
with "Hero comes our leaderl" and applause.
Then lie made the speech ot wtncd we com
plain, l'arts of It were Inflammatory. Other parts
did not violate the atatntc. There were compli
mentary references to the police aB "blood
hounds," "blue-coated ruffians," "hirelings of
tho capitalists," Ac. Thcro were officers there In
diBgnlso. A man has a right to call such names If
he likes. Afterwards Most preached a funeral ser
mon over the Anarchists. Spoke of their hardships
their herolim, their fortitude. Ho denounced the
trial, the Judgn and the proarcntlng officer. Com
plained of the Judge as a minion, the witnesses at
perjurers and thejury as hirelings. The Anarchlata
were martyrs. Thus far he exerciaed ouly his
rght.
lly this time the audience was Inflamed, stimu
lated to an alarming stato of feeling. Tnen tno
defendant proceeded (o utter the treasonable and
unlawful language charged. He saldt " Every
peraon connected wlta that tragedr la marked for
destruction. Tho social revolution is at hand."
A voice cried out In the audience, " Why not
begin tc-nljhtl" Most went on, "Wo have a
weapon far aupcrlor to theirs. Every one,
I aay, in that tragedy Is doomed.
First comes Grltuell (tho prosecutor); next
the Jndgel Ttien let not the murderer, Gov.
Oglcsby, tnlnk ho shall escape. He la tlic greatest
murderer ot triem all. Oh, that I could get my
hands on the executlonirt I wouU Btranglo nlm
tonlghtl"
Henry Gecrgo and Mr, Towdcrly weroabnspd
becauso thiy were not dynamiters and bomb
throwerB. "he history of German Socialism was
reviewed. Officers Hecha and Hutu were there and
took down tho remarks of Most. They agree In tbo
euentl.il pdnta, but tiro not exnetly alive.
Wo have another witness whom w o shnll call. It
Is not a reporter for Tun Wonui, a has been gen
erally snpjosed. There are two reporters named
Dreyfoos. One Is a reporter for Tits
World, rut he was not tho one who marlo
the stenographic report- It was hU brother,
who la oiiploycd by tho Associated I'rCBS and a
mornlngpaper aa well. Mr. Dreyfoos Is thoroujh
lr ronvesant with the Ocrmm language and tho
English, Ho Is a stenographer, and took a steuo
graphlceport in German.
Mr. Aicoll spoko forty minutes, and called
Detorftve Lonls ltott, of the Fourteenth Fro
ciuctundor Capt. McCullagh, as the first
witnss.
THE TESTIMONY BEdtrH.
ntectivo Kott was detailed to attend tho
meting Nov. 12 at Kraemer's Hotel in dis-
gviso. Ho was dressed in a gray woollen
Burt, black coat and trousers, slouch hat and
rland green necktie. He and Dctoctivo
techs went togothor. TliewitnobS testified:
-We stopped In tho saloon In front and got
tome beer. There waa a big crowd. I talked
with the people present. Then we went Into the
'hall In the rear. The hall Is to by 80 or 40 feet In
alze. It was crowded with people. Most camo In
In a few mlnntos and tho crowd cheered and
called ont: "Hero comes our leader! Hero Is
Father Most' Hero U Herr Most 1"
Moat passed rapidly down tne hall to a tablo
which was on a platform twenty feet from tup,
taking off his overcoat aa he went. Ho was Intro
duced and poke. Ho said:
"Slaves) I have Just heard that tho services to
be held In Florence Hall over tho dead brothers
mnrdered at Chicago have been stopped by tho po
lice hounda. God help them If there are any or
tnem found at any of our meetings. Beware, yon
aconndrels! Hereafter our meetings will be held
In secret!"
After speaking about the heroism of the Anarch
ists ot Chicago, their trial, conviction and death, he
said: "Tho Jury were well paid for their work.
They say Llngsr suicided. I aay no! I say they
murdered him,, for ha was too brave a
man to kin himself. Revolution will Boon
come. First all will be Grlnneli, then Judgo Gary,
then the greatest murderers of all, the Supreme
Court, and last of all the moat cowardly of the
assaaslna, Gov. Oglcany, of Illinois.
"He must not think that be will get off became he
left two of our brothers to die In prison. Thoy
must not think that we are afraid of their Gatllng
guns. We have a weapon stronger than that.
They have murdered five of our brothers, hut wo
will have for every one of them Ave hundred of
them. If I knew the name of the execntlouer who
strangled oar brothers to-night, I would not rest
until he bad shared the same line."
A man arose and said: "Why not commence
to-night?" When Grlnncll's name was mentioned
the crowd groaned. Llngg's name was cheered, n
Tho witness was relinquished at the close
of his story to Mr. Howo, who cross-examined.
It was short. Mr. Howo domanded :
" Givo me the German word for tho Ameri
can word ' fato.' Do it quickly."
" I don't know it." roplicd tho officer,
whereat Mr. Howo thundered : " That is
all I You may go I" and the witness retired.
Detective John J. Sechs next tostifiod. Ho
said ho could speak and write German
said ho could speak and write German
readily, and understood it.
A man named Schwcnck, an Anarchist, whom I
had arrested once, Introduced Herr Most to the
meeting at Kraemer's Hall, and Most spoke In
German, saying, among other things :
" Brother Anarchists, we wre to have a meet
ing over our dead brothers mur.iercd In Chicago.
I have Just received word that Capt. McCullagh
and his bloodhounds of police have stopped our
meeting. Let them beware I Hereafter
we will hold our social councils In secret. How
brave our brothers died In Chicago I How firm
they walked to the gallows I They try to tell us
that Lin gg killed himself, but ho did not. Ho
was too brave to die that tray.
"Our brethren dled'u-.errible death. The weights
were not heavy enough to break their necks.
Their blood cries to heaven for revenge,
and we will revenge them. They had
no fair trial. The Jury were hirelings of the capi
talists. They held onr brethren until they could
get perjured evidence to convict them.
' The day of revolution Is coming; It Is not far
distant. I say, arm yourselves and be prepared.
They have the police and the gatllng gun, but we
have a weapon that Is atronger than theirs.
First the murderer Grlnneli, then Judge Gary,
then the greatest mnrderera of all, the Judges
of the United States Supreme Court, and last, the
cowardliest mnrderer of them all, Gov.
Oglesby, of Illinois. He mast not trunk
to get off because be commuted two of our broth
ers. If I knew the hangman who strangled our
brothers I would give ten years of my life to lay my
hands on him.
The witness 8aid there were cheers, groans
and applause at intervals during Host's
speech.
Most said also:
In Germany in IMS thousands of worklngmen
were killed, and they thought Socialism waa dead.
In Paris, In 18T1, 80,000 communists were slaugh
tered, and they thougnt Communism was killed.
Five were killed in Chicago, and now they think
Anarchism IB dead. But I say no. For every one
of brothers' lives we will have coo. I ear again,
get arms! I am an Anarchist, and I am willing to
die for Anarchy.
Recess was taken here, and Mr. Howo cross
examined the witness after it.

faprciAL to Tne wobld.I
Lowell, Moss., Nov. 23. A lady resident
of Clinton, Mass., recently told a friend in
this city a story which shows that in his vol
untary exile in a country whoro ho ia beyond
the palo of tho law, McNeil, tho defaulting
Lancaster bunk prcsidont, has not forgotton
his old tricks. It seems that when he first
appeared in tho place just over tho Canadian
line a year and a half ago, ho represented
himself as having removed to Canada on a
doctor's ndvico.
Ho bought a farm for which ho paid about
$4,000, which ho assorted was about all tho
money that ho had. Ho represented to the
customs officers that he owned homo fine
Holstcin cattle, which he desired to bring
from the States aud which he hoped to get
across tho lino without paying duty. He was
poor, having lost tlio most of his property,
and ho hoped that ho might be favorod to
that extent. The customs officer said that
ho had no discretion in tho matter and could
not abato the duty.
A short time nftorwards ho was sent for by
MoNcil, who showed him the cattle in his
vard and said that he had driven them over
from tho States in tho night. The ofllccr
was astounded and said that he should most
certainly not tolerato any such trifling with
the law, but should insist upon the payment
of duty. McNeil finally persuaded him to
allow the cattlo to be driven back, and tho
next night they wero returned to the States
and sold at a sacrifice

ELizAnKTit, N. J., Nov. 23. Great oxeito
mont provailcd at Ellr.oletliport at 0 o'clock
last night over tho fall of tho throo immense
iron chimnoys of the Klizabethport Cordage
Works, a big industry that omploys COO per
sons, moro than ono-half of whom aro
fomalos.
Tho managers of tho establishment hnvo
long contemplated substituting brick chim
neys for tho iron smoko-stacks, and it was in
trying to put this plan into operation that
tho catastrophe occurred. Sovornl working
men wero engaged in lowering tho main
chimnoy, which is 05 fcot high, when,
suddenly, it was observed to sway violently,
and thon toppled over, breaking in two in its
descent.
Tho chimney in fulling struck tho iron
ropes and supports that held tho other two
chimnoys each of them sixty feet high in
their position, find tho whole throo tumbled
to tho ground with a tremendous crash,
smashing tho roof of tho boilcr-houso as if it
wero an egg-shell and tilling tho yard with a
cloud of dust and smoke, whilo the escupiug
steam added to tho terror of tho scono.
It was quito dark at tlio time, ond tho af
frighted employees imagined that tho boilor
had oxplodcd, and that tho buildings wero
doomed to destruction. A chorus of shrieks
went up from tlio terrified fomales, who ran
from thoir Jenny maohines into tlio open air
bareheaded and only partly clothed. Tho
men also caught tho prevailing panic and tied
into tho yard and stroct, many of them in
thoir Hight tumbling over tho wreoked chim
noys in tho darkness and sustaining slight
bruises.
Sevoral girls woro in tho dressing-room
getting ready to chnngo thoir clothing when
tho accident happened. They shrieked
wildly and being still in tho building, it was
thought by thoir companions outside that
thovhad been killed.
Tho amoko was so dense for somo minutes
that it was impossiblo to tell what damage
had been dono or lmt hod really happened.
A report spread obont tho loer part of tlio
city that an explosion bad token plnco at tho
factory, and that many had been killed
and injured. In consequenco of this, a big
crowd soon gathered at tho scone. Lights
wero speedily procured, and a search made
among tho ruins for supposed dead bodies of
employees. To the joy of the searchers nouo
were found, nor was it loomed that ony ono
had beon hurt except what bruisos wero sus
tained by some in escaping from tho build
ing. The engineer and assistants had es
caped from the boiler-house just as the roof
was smashed.
Some outbuildings in tho yard wero do.
stroyed by tho fulling chimneys, and tho fac
tory fence was demolished. Tho escape of
the employees is regarded as miraculous, as
many of the males wero working about tho
yard at the timo.
The place presented a sceno of desolation
whon a Would reporter called thero to-day.
llroken heaps of ile'liris wero scattered in all
directions. The greater part of tho em
ployees are thrown out of work by the
accident, and as they receive small
wages fji7 per week ond livo from
hand to mouth, whilo many have large
families to support, it will go hard with them
to bo compelled to endure enforced idleness
at the opening of wintor ond tho beginning of
tho holiday Reason. Work was resumed only
on Oct. 1, after tha annual suspension of
threo mouths to mako repairs and tako ac
